Carlos Alcaraz has beaten tennis legend Novak Djokovic in five sets to win his first Wimbledon title and deny Serbian opponent a record eighth tournament win.
The Spaniard beat Djokovic in a thrilling final on Centre Court in SW19 to win his first Wimbledon title and second Grand Slam at the age of 20.
It proved costly, as in the next game Alcaraz forced the break to prompt Djokovic to smash his racket into the net post. Academy Award-winning actor Pitt was in England last weekend, appearing at the Silverstone Circuit ahead of the British Grand Prix, to film scenes for his forthcoming Formula 1 feature film.
"It's special to play here in front of royalty. I am really proud you are here supporting me. You've come to watch me twice and I won, so I hope you come some more."
